We are members of a Farmers’ Market or CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) group that gives us a basket of in-season fruits and vegetables each week. It’s a pretty good price, considering it has seriously reduced the number of grocery store visits we have to make. Living with vegetarian, Peter, you’d think that we would eat healthy. No, we really have to force it.
So each week when we get our basket, we try so hard to use the veggies each week. It is just not possible sometimes. The usual amount is about 6 apples, a bag of string beans, 4 ears of corn, 2 green peppers, a cantaloupe, 3-4 zucchini squash, 4 tomatoes, and some carrots. We generally can’t use it all in a week, so we either give it away to family members or store it in the fridge.
Tonight I tried to use as many veggies and fruits as possible. Our dinner consisted of stuffed portabello mushrooms (– stuffed with mozzarella and parmesean cheese, bread crumbs, tomato, green pepper, zucchini) and parmesean garlic string beans.
Then for “dessert,” we had a watermelon, strawberry, and mango smoothie. Just fruits. No milk or added sugar.
Yum to everything!
